How Ember Spirit and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Snapfire win 48.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 10,527 matches.
Holding a position against this pair can feel awkward. Snapfire can use Firesnap Cookie to launch Ember Spirit directly onto a target, stunning them on impact. This provides an easy setup for Ember to land Searing Chains, allowing him to follow up with his full damage rotation. While Ember Spirit is busy on the front line, Snapfire can contribute her own damage from a safe distance or prepare her Mortimer Kisses ultimate if more enemies rotate to help. This creates a simple but effective ganking tool that punishes heroes caught out of position.
The success of this partnership, however, depends heavily on timing and coordination. A launched Ember Spirit is fully committed to the fight; if the enemy team is prepared or has a strong defensive save, he can be focused down before his Fire Remnants can get him to safety. Ember also has his own mobility and doesn't always need the help from Snapfire to start a fight. The duo's potential is highest when securing pickoffs, but the play becomes much riskier and less reliable in full five-on-five teamfights where a committed Ember can be a dead Ember.
